Instruction leaflet
- Who, where, when
- Ludovico Gardenghi (garden, Ludo etc.); born in the early '80s. I live in the vicinity of Paris.
- What am I paid for
- I keep up and running the production servers at Brainsonic. I've been a R&D engineer, a PhD student, a systems and networks administrator (again), a Site Reliability Engineer.
- How to contact me
- I've a lot of accounts out there. gardengl on GMail and Google Talk it's a good starting point. Other ways to contact me are left as an exercise for who feels adventurous (TV says Internet is full of bad places.) I have a Wiki page where I try to collect the scripts I write and similar stuff.
- Pieces of paper
- Scientific High School Degree; B.S. and M.Sc. in Computer Science, University of Bologna.
- Current, past and who-can-tell CS/IT interests
- Ideally: administration of (big scale) production *X systems and TCP/IP networks, including security issues; development of system tools (C/C++/Python/Bash/Go). But I've also worked on libraries for MPEG4 streaming, parallel and distributed simulation, virtualization of networks and operating systems. I'm a Debian Developer, though a bit lazy one due to scarcity of time. Anything else?
- CS/IT disinterests
- User interfaces (I can't manage to create good ones, I'm more of a console user). Too abstract or self-referential software engineering (things work not because you are good at selling them, but because they're well written).
- Other interests
- If I had more time, organ music — especially Bach and Italian authors of the XIX century. Or accordion. Or some other instrument. In short — music. I studied improvisational theatre for some years; now I don't for linguistic inability. I like to take pictures, but I don't put much time in it and I usually don't share them online (although, as I said, I do have accounts). I wander through Paris with my in-line skates and recently I'm experimenting with rock climbing. As a rule of thumb, I tend to complicate my life — if it's worth it.
- Compasses (such things as ‘politicalsexualreligious orientation’ and the like)
- They seldom point north — if they do, they've thought about that well.
- Codes & secrets
- To whom it may concern, I provide my Geek Code and my OpenPGP public key (here the old, deprecated one and the transition document). Whoever wants my resume can contact me. Else, one of the aforementioned bad places where I have an account is LinkedIn. For everything else, quaerendo invenietis.
Not-so-F FAQs
- Do you have orange hair?
- I had it. It's been funny (although the skin hurted a bit), I could do it again.
- This home page is useless in nowadays' social and 2.0+ world. What's the use of this?
- You can hit Ctrl-W (or ⌘-W).
- Why ‘Acheronte’?
- It is so willed where will and power are one, and ask no more.
- Do you own a blog (yet another of those out of fashion things)?
- I do, not updated for years. It's called Bruscolini. Who knows, I could post something new in the future.
- I have an inordinate desire to make you a present. What do you want?
- I have some suggestions (in Italian).
- So? End of web page? Already?
- If you think something should be added, tell me. I might add it.
